Hi all,

It seems the ToolShed now uses roles for granting admin rights... but still has the old "Grant authority to make changes" feature?

I just hit a possible glitch here - I wanted to create a new repo under the "iuc" user, edit the admin settings, then log in as my normal personal account and upload the first version of the tool.

So:

1. Log into the Tool Shed as the "iuc" user. 2. Created https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_blast_plus_2_2_30 3. Attempted to add other administrators, e.g. IUC group or myself, but the top right menu only offered "upload", and the old panel to do this was also missing: "Grant authority to make changes"

If I do the first upload as "iuc", then the menu changes to include "Manage Repository Administrators", plus the panel on the main page appears "Grant authority to make changes" (which is what we used to use).

Is this a transition stage, or are the change rights a subset of the admin role?
